Wrench Report

By Chris Esparza

A detailed tribute build that replicates the iconic mid-sixties Shelby performance aesthetic. I really dig the 289 with 302 heads, and the most eyecatching piece of the powertrain is definitely that rare Holley Tri-Power three-carburetor induction setup. With a 4-speed top loader and 3.50 gears, you're definitely going to have a lot of fun taking this GT350 tribute out and spinning the tires.

Description

This 1968 Ford Mustang is set up as a 1967 Shelby GT350 Tribute and is a professionally built recreation of a Shelby classic. The vehicle started life at the Ford Los Angeles assembly plant as a 1968 289ci C-code Mustang Sportsroof (fastback) before undergoing a comprehensive restoration into a 1967 Shelby GT350 tribute. Now featuring a rebuilt high-performance powertrain, rare induction, and authentic Shelby styling cues, the car is offered with a deluxe Marti Report and a clean Arizona title.

The rust-free body has been refinished in Sunlit Gold two-stage paint complemented by Wimbledon White Shelby GT racing stripes. The exterior incorporates correct Shelby fiberglass body panels, including the GT hood, side scoops, and a custom tail panel. Brightwork is in excellent condition and features dual exterior mirrors and a Shelby flip-open gas cap. Visual highlights include the iconic Shelby "In-Board" front driving lights and modern "sequential" rear taillights.

The car stands on a brand-new set of period-correct 15-inch Shelby "Magstar" wheels. These classic multi-spoke wheels are wrapped in fresh BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, sized 225/60R15 at all four corners. The trunk compartment is cleanly detailed and houses a complete spare tire and jack assembly.

The cabin features factory-style black vinyl upholstery, configured with a rare front bench seat that includes a integrated fold-down center armrest, paired with a functional fold-down rear seat. The safety equipment includes front and rear seatbelts. Auxiliary comfort is supported by a cleanly finished headliner and door panels, while a vintage-style AM/FM radio with modern Bluetooth integration has been installed in the factory dash location.

The driver is presented with a real wood-rimmed Shelby three-spoke steering wheel. The dashboard houses fully operational factory instrumentation, augmented by a steering column-mounted 8,000-rpm SunSuperII tachometer. The floor houses the factory reverse-lockout manual shifter managing the four-speed gearbox.

The engine bay houses a completely rebuilt 289ci small-block V8 engine upgraded with 302 cylinder heads and tube headers. The centerpiece of the engine is a rare Holley Tri-Power three-carburetor induction setup mounted to an aluminum intake manifold, complete with an oval cast-aluminum "Shelby" air cleaner and matching finned-aluminum valve covers. Reliability is enhanced by a Pertronix electronic ignition system and a brand-new battery. Power is routed through a Top-Loader four-speed manual transmission and back to a 3.50:1 posi-traction ("Equi-Loc") rear end.

The chassis undercarriage is clean and highly sorted, having received replacement suspension bushings, fresh springs, and new ball joints. The rear axle is fitted with adjustable air shocks to tune ride quality and stance. Steering is power-assisted, and stopping power is updated with a front disc and rear drum braking combination. Spent gases flow through a dual exhaust system that delivers a classic muscle-car note.
